The stone steps leading down into the cellars of the five-storey Georgian townhouse give little indication of what awaits you at La Flamenca and you might just forget you're on North Parade in Bath. Right from the furniture and tiles, to the food and sangria, everything at this tapas bar and restaurant exudes a special Spanish charm without appearing branded or made up.

Spanish meals are long and leisurely and allow for the enjoyment of good company, fine wine, and a healthy cuisine. You could start by ordering any of their tapas dishes that range from spiced Iberian sausage and pork casserole with wine, onion and green pepper, to deep fried calamari and egg, flamenco style with potato, chorizo, peas and tomato sauce. Don't miss the special seafood paella!

Spanish parties and flamenco dancers on the last Sunday of every month ensure customers not only taste but also feel and look at the best of Spanish culture and tradition.
